KUALA LUMPUR: Hot Burger founder Mohd Asri Hamid who daringly went live on Facebook accusing enforcement authorities of collaborating with gambling syndicates in Sungai Buloh has been called up by the police.
Better known as Asri Janggut, the 42-year-old businessman said he had been asked to go to the Selangor Police headquarters on Tuesday.
“It is in relation to the illegal gambling in Sungai Buloh.
“I will go and will be accompanied by a lawyer,” he said when contacted yesterday.
In his no-holds-barred live FB clips early last month, Mohd Asri alleged that the police were in cahoots with gambling syndicates while the smuggling of fake cigarettes was rampant in the area.
The videos received more than three million views.
Mohd Asri also complained of unfair action by the Shah Alam City Council (MBSA) in seizing his burger stall.
Eight MBSA personnel and an officer have been detained for investigations.
